La Scala

Reviewed By scooby1305 - Zoutleeuw

Yes, they also make good Pizzas, but this restaurant caters much more to upscale, Italian dining.
We had several of the "dishes of the day", which in our case were heavy on seafood and fresh forest mushrooms. The cooking was very good throughout, the wines we tasted fit well, and the service was very attentive and fast.
In short, a really nice dining experience for a relaxed evening out, and the cost / benefit ration was absolutely fair.

Pandossia

Excellent little Greek family run restaurant. All your classic Greek dishes together with a nice range of Greek and German beverages. Ultra friendly service with a smile. And very affordable prices. A popular place, so it can be busy at times.

Schloss Berge

Reviewed By scooby1305 - Zoutleeuw

Have been to Schloss Berge several times in the last 3 months and always for business diners.
The hotel / restaurant is located in a picturesque park area, which is well maintained, and the property buildings and interior are also well appointed and maintained.
Food is mostly German cuisine served in generous portions and consistently good. This is a down-to-earth cuisine that seems to cater more to those enjoying a good German beer or German wine with their meal. Gourmets & foodies looking for the next big dining experience may find other restaurants in the region more to their liking. Nonetheless, everything my colleagues and I had at Schloss Berge was well cooked, well presented and a joy to eat. We also felt that the service provided was consistently very good, and that staff and waiters are very attentive to customer needs.
I recommend this property for relaxed dinners in style in groups of max. 4 people who come very hungry and appreciate a good Schnaps after getting some good carb- and fat-rich German cooking into their bellies.

Another classic German wirtschaft in the heart own downtown Gelsenkirchen Buer, right beside the church. Typical classic German food including all kinds of Schnitzel, Roast Duck, Haxe, they have it all. Great selection of German draft beer, be patient, it takes some time to pour a beer properly.

Went here for a business gathering. Big group but the service was very good. Food was good with reasonable choice. It is located in an area that is worth visiting i.e. protected old collieries which have been turned into museums, very interesting. Would go here again.

Waldhaus am See

Reviewed By NCPirate - Sanford, NC

We were a party of five who were searching for excellent German food...and we were not disappointed. There is plenty of free parking, and their is a view of the lake from inside the restaurant.
The restaurant is very modern with its Seating and features. The menu will meet anyone's dietary wishes. We tried several appetizers...all excellent...and ordered veal and fish dishes. The wine list was very large...we were too full to even consider desserts!!
The service was very good!
Certainly a place we can recommend. The prices are close to being fine dining prices, but it would be possible to find items to order that would fit a moderate budget.
